The last time the Seattle Sounders went on the road to play the Vancouver Whitecaps, things did not go well. The Sounders lost that meeting, 2-0, turning in arguably their most uninspired performance of the season. For a team that’s used to dominating their northern rivals, it had to be at least a little humbling.

Today’s game is potentially pivotal for the Sounders. Can they regain the upper hand in this rivalry and kickstart a strong run into the Leagues Cup break, or will they limp to the finish line as they await reinforcements?

Notes

• The Sounders are 0-2-2 at BC Place since their last win there in 2018.
